I feel the core is one strong young prospect away from future success. This means if we do not get any lottery picks for Bargs or Calderon, Im hoping we drop to 9th on the last game of the season in order to free up our lottery picks in the future

Assuming the Raptors continue to play like they have been next year, they will be a playoff team and likely in the low/mid-40 win range meaning no lottery picks anyways. I am still hoping they take on the absolute worst contracts for a pick or right to swap picks.

wouldn't best case scenario be, make the playoffs and buy a pick? if the draft is going to be as weak as everyone is thinking then there should be some picks for sale for either cash or non guaranteed 2nd rounders.

You rarely get to buy a lottery pick. That was what I was talking about if I was not clear. I just want the obligation over with this season. Looking through the draft, there are very few players that interest me. The ones that do are all C's and none peak my interest more than JV. If we are talking about buying a pick or packaging cash and a 2nd round pick for a high teen pick, then Otto Porter is the only first round pick that interests me right now (a lot can change in the next 6 months). DraftExpress.com has Porter at 16.

*EDIT* Oh yeah, and Anthony Bennett but he is making himself a top 5 pick.

Michael Carter-Williams very interesting as an 6'6" PG who is leading a very good Syracuse. Who leads the country in assist. Who should be in that mid first round area.

They need to play around 600 basketball to be in the playoff picture by the end.

The BUCKS JUST lost Skiles as coach...makes that game winnable. Philly is slumping,

Brooklyn will be tough to beat at home.

I think we really need to go 4 and 2 over this stretch, which is actually not too bad. We need to win against philly both times becasue they are one of the teams between us and 8th, and I think Charlotte is easily winnable. Then we take one against Milwakee, Brooklyn, or Chicago, preferrably Milwakee since they could drop into the eighth spot any time.
